Abstract

We propose a time-adaptive high-order compact finite difference scheme for option pricing in a family of stochastic volatility models. We employ a semi-discrete high-order compact finite difference method for the spatial discretisation, and combine this with an adaptive time discretisation, extending ideas from [LSRHF02] to fourth-order multistep methods in time.
